> You da man, Dr. Bob. Somebody has to take a stand!Some very valid points were made by several people. If the government is allowed to stop you from purchasing a gun(for fear you will hurt yourself or others), where will it stop.....Will they next try to stop you from owning and driving a car(because we know more people are killed in car accidents every day than are killed with a gun), or will we be required to keep all the medications locked in a safe so we don't OD... or better yet lets just lock everyone who is mentally ill up, so no one has to worry. The government needs to stop protecting us from ourselves and get back to worring about the country.
